Lords division · 15 Jun 2009 · No. 1

Political Parties and Elections Bill

Lord Marlesford moved amendment 1, in Schedule 1, page 39, line 24, at end to insert “provided that prior approval to enter any premises and to inspect documents found on those premises has been obtained from a magistrate”. The House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 47

Contents: 152 Not Contents: 105

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 47 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Baroness Anelay of St Johns (Content), Lord Marlesford (Content), Lord Bassam of Brighton (Not Content), Lord Davies of Oldham (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (150)

Not Contents (103)

Tellers (4)
